I have to always be my own man, no matter what happens around me and what others think I could, would, and should be.

This one connects both personal growth and cultural traditions around the New Year. The idea of starting as I mean to go on is powerful, suggesting that the way I enter a new phase in life sets the tone for everything that follows.

As I look out my widow and stare at the grey days of winter, I continue to appreciate the four seasons.

Here’s how to wish for positive outcomes throughout the year:

  • Winter: Reconnect with a mentor or friend. Schedule catch-up sessions.

  • Spring: Attend a few free seminars or adult education classes.

  • Summer: Collaborate with someone who shares my goals.

  • Fall: Celebrate progress with those who’ve supported me.

Being an old soul is not bad, but rather a clear understanding of ourselves and all inner and outer feelings and concepts.

It’s a gentle reminder to honor our depth, wisdom, and empathy. It’s about acknowledging our unique perspective and using it to navigate through life’s ups, downs, and sideways.

I was there because I decided to leave my Northeastern lifestyle after attending grammar and high school there to seek higher education and a new beginning at the University of Miami and Florida International University, where I earned my BFA.

She represents American multicultural diversity and inclusion. Harris offers the open and democratic behavior We The People must have in the greatest nation on earth. We also found that an overwhelming number of registered voters believe their President. Therefore it must be someone of trust.

As I reach another milestone at 39… This is not my age, it’s my waist size. I have learned just a few things along the way.

Many men learn these insights much later in life, often after years of adhering to traditional notions of success and masculinity. The Latinos call it machismo, caudillos, whatever you want to call it. STOP 🛑
